Day Eight Hundred and Seventeen

Miss Pancake 

We did not go to the farm this morning, because Zita had breakfast with her friend Miss Maggie.

Because they had to lave an interesting talk.

And when she came home, Miss Tarryn came here to help with the rascal ladies secret room. 

Then it was time for Zita and I to go to our work.

And my friend Niamh had an empty you head holiday today.

So she made her room all neat and tidy. My goodness me. That is a big job.

At lunchtime Craig made us a peanut butter sandwich. With our new honey. 

And Niamh had that peaches cake for her lunch. 

She was very slow and I told her lots of times that I really liked that cake too. Oh well. 

But then I got some. 

When I had my second lunch Craig had the very last piece of the peaches cake. 

And he was very slow too. Oh well. 

Mister Paul came here to borrow the lift heavy things machine. 

But he did not have any coffees with Craig, because he was very busy moving boxes.

Everybody was very busy today.

Last night Zita had a bit of a sore tummy, but I got up on the bed and kept her toasty until breakfast time. 

It was not so warm today. 

Yesterday there were lots of all frozen puddles all over our farm. 

But I broke them all up. Ha. 

Soon it will be wintertime again. 

Before dinnertime I went outside for a long time, so I could watch my friends the little birds, who live in my bushes. 

Then I minded Craig in the living room. 

And all of a sudden I woke up, because I went to fast asleep. Right there on my comfy chair. Oh well. 

When all of our work was finished, Zita and I went out for an all around here walk, in the very dark. 

But we were very brave, and I did not get a bit muddy, so I did not have to get in the bathtub.

Then it was my dinner time. 

But Craig and Zita did not have a right away dinner.

Because Zita drove Niamh to Mister Tyler’s.

Because he made a whole dinner from a very far away place. But I do not know where. 

Then Zita had to take the fast car to Mister Mike’s car fixing store.

Because now we have brand new do not get stuck in the snow tires. 

And tomorrow morning they will put new wheels on the fast car. 

Because the tires have their very own wheels. Ha. Good for them. 

Some people do not find those tires until the too much snow comes, and then they just crash. 

Or just sit in middle of our street making loud noises with their all wrong tires. Too bad for them. 

When she got back they had toasts and tasty eggs. Ha.

Then we watched a brand new detective program. 

And I minded everybody from the comfy sofa. 

Day Eight Hundred and Sixteen

Miss Pancake

We were very busy this morning.

Right after breakfast Niamh and Zita and I had a lovely meeting.

And when that was all finished Miss Tarryn was here to talk to Zita and me about university. 

My goodness what a busy morning.

And I could not help Craig get all dressed this morning because I had to take Zita to our farm. Ha. 

It was a bit windy cold at the farm today. 

But I like the wind because it makes my ears all flappy. Ha.

So we stayed for a long time because it was our no work on Wednesday day.

And I did lots and lots of very fast running, all over the whole farm, until I was so muddy I had to have another little wash in the bathtub. 

And when we got home it was already my lunchtime. My goodness me. 

But this afternoon is very quiet for me. 

Because Zita went to visit Kathy, before she went to the make you beautiful store.

So Mister Roger could get her all ready for Merry Christmas time. 

And Niamh was very busy with all the way up north people.

And Craig was just doing things on the big computer.

Then we listened to my friend Emmet tell those very old Irish stories, right in our living room. My goodness me.

And it was about everybody named Finn. I do not know why. 

I do not think they were all Finns. I think that was the only name they could remember.

Because it was a very long time ago. 

I do not think Emmet knew which Finn was Finn either. Oh well.

When Zita came home she was not so very furry as before, and she brought us brand new bread for our toasts. 

Then Niamh made a very delicious dinner with chicken and bacons, and very tasty lettuce.

I got some bacons with my dinner. 

Then Niamh went to the hard questions restaurant to visit with all her friends. 

Craig and Zita and I went into the den and watched the detective program.

Then it was bedtime, so we went to bed. 

Bedtime is my favourite time to go to bed. 

Day Eight Hundred and Fifteen

Miss Pancake 

My goodness me, when I got up and looked out my favourite window it was so nasty outside that we just stayed right here, even after our breakfasts

And then my friend Niamh came upstairs to do her work, right from the comfy sofa.

So I was very busy minding both Zita and Niamh at the same time.

And Craig did not have even a sleep in.

So he went right into the den to listen to nice quiet music. 

And drink his coffee in his new see through cup.

And I helped him make our breakfast toasts. 

We have not had breakfast toasts for a long time. My goodness me.

But then I was looking all around for cousins Lucy.

But she was not here, because she is in Ireland again.

But I forgot. Too bad for me.

Zita made another extremely delicious peaches and oatmeal cake.

Because nasty windy days are the very right days for delicious peaches. 

My very good friends the Badgers love that cake.

It is their very favourite because it has lots and lots oatmeal. 

Oatmeal is all the Scotsmen’s favourite thing to eat. 

And Dugal poured some very old whiskey from Scotland on top. 

It was from the very big barrel in the secret room in the basement.

But I cannot tell anyone about it.

Because it is a secret. I know lots of secrets. But I cannot tell anyone one. 

Maybe I am a spy. A secret spy. Ha. 

Dugal did not shared it with Furrgus or Festis. 

He said they were still too young for that old as can be whiskey. 

It was a present from his great grandfather Murduvh, when he graduated from that other very old university.

It was not Emmet’s very very old university, it was one in Italy. 

Too bad for him Festis said. They had their very own whiskeys. My goodness me. 

The badgers are all back home because it is nearly Merry Christmas time. 

And that is their very very favourite time. 

Because of all our cheeses parties and Zita’s own made cooking. 

Especially those very special delicious hams and the tasty butter tarts. 

They do not have even one butter tart in Scotland. Not even made in a store ones. 

So the badgers always come back here for Merry Christmas.

And because this is where Mister Saint Santa brings their secret presents. Ha.

I got some of Craig’s cake, and I licked the spoon as clean as could be. Ha.

When our work was all over Zita and I went for our before dinner walk in the dangerous dark outside.

But we got back as safe as could be.

Because I was being her very best fiercest minder dog. Ha.

And when we got home I ran all around the house as fast as could be. Ha.

Then it was everybody’s dinner time.

Except for Niamh. 

Because she had to meet her friends. Too bad for her. 

Craig and Zita and I will eat all that peaches cake by ourselves.

After dinner it was time for our before bedtime detective program. 

Day Eight Hundred and Fourteen

Miss Pancake 

My goodness me. There were some animals too close to my own house very early this morning.

But I heard them and right away.

I was very fierce and ran right into the living and gave them my very scary growls. 

I did not bark so much, just growls. Ha. 

And then they all ran away. Ha. 

Zita got up to see how brave I was. 

So we had our breakfasts early this morning. 

And we had a good morning holiday. 

Just for Zita and me. 

After breakfast time Niamh came home and was very busy with her far away up north work. 

It is very busy way up north, because soon it will be Merry Christmas time. 

And that is where all those fast flying reindeer live. And Mister Saint Santa has his house. 

All those reindeers have their very own rooms in a very big barn. That is a good idea. 

Then Zita and I went to our farm in the fast car.

It was a cold day at the farm, but there was a lot of sunshine everywhere.

And the farmers were very busy.

Their giant tractors were getting the farm all ready for the too much snow. That is good.

Zita had lots of clothes on and I did lots of fast running so we were not cold. 

When we got home Craig had already had two coffees. My goodness. 

And it was my lunchtime time too. 

After my lunch I went into our office, because our just for us holiday was over, and Zita needed my help. 

Last night cousin Lucy had hamburgers in her bedroom. And chips too.

Because she was in a nice hotel. In Toronto and not on that aeroplane. 

Because that aeroplane just broke. 

And all the people were on it. And then everybody had to get off and go to a hotel instead.

And a nice man brought cousin Lucy lots of tasty food right to her bedroom. 

And she had a living room too, not just a bedroom. 

So she could watch the Irish football right there.

In the living room. With her hamburgers and chips.

But they fixed that aeroplane all up, so tonight it flew away to Ireland. And cousin Lucy was on it. 

She was very happy. 

We had hamburgers tonight, and I got lots of lettuce right on my extra dinner. 

Then we watched a brand new detective from England. 

Day Eight Hundred and Thirteen

Miss Pancake

We did not go to bed until very late last night.

Because everybody wanted to stay at our party until way past my bedtime. 

But when we had dessert I was all awake and Craig gave me two of his raspberries. Ha.

And there were two ice creams and even own made brownies too.

Mister Mat really likes raspberries. Me too. 

Mister Mat lives in Mister Tyler’s apartment. They even share the very messy refrigerator Niamh says. 

He drove Mister Ryan and Miss Dina and Tyler to their homes in his car. 

And Mister Mat put the pretend Merry Christmas tree in that car too. 

Niamh got it for them. Ha.

Now Mister Tyler and Mister Mat will have their own Merry Christmas tree. 

And Niamh gave them some very beautiful sparkling lights for that tree. And a very shiny star for the top. 

Because if Niamh did not do that Mister Saint Santa could not give them any lovely secret presents.

Because there would be no Merry Christmas tree to put them under. My goodness me.

They are very lucky my best friend Niamh takes care of those boys. 

This morning everybody even Craig got up early. 

Because today was the day that cousin Lucy went back to Ireland, on that do not get lost aeroplane. 

Everybody was very sad, so Zita and Niamh took her to the aeroport in the fast car. 

And they stayed there so she would not get lost. 

Then Niamh went to Mister Tyler’s apartment. 

So she could make the Merry Christmas tree.

But I was very very happy when Zita got home.

Because when I saw that going to far away bag, I thought maybe she was going to way far away again,

But she was not.

She was going to our farm, and she asked me if I wanted to go with her. Ha.

So the fast car took us there just as fast as could be. Good for us. 

It was windy all the time at our farm, and it was too cold.

But we stayed for a long time so our fast fast running would get us toasty warm.

And when we were all warm the fast car took us home. 

But it was too cold to stick my head outside. Oh well.

When we were home I helped Craig make a very delicious peanut butter and honey sandwich.

And we used our brand new honey that our from around here bees. 

That is why those sandwiches are so very tasty. 

Then I had a long nap. 

Because I was a bit tired from all our parties. 

Everybody was a bit tired so we watched a bit of our program and then we went to bed altogether. 

Day Eight Hundred and Twelve

Miss Pancake 

Last night I had to get up in the very middle of the night.

Because Niamh and Lucy needed my help.

Because they had to make cheesie nachos, so they would not be all starved away. My goodness me.

Because they had a very very busy night. 

Because they had to go shopping for Merry Christmas secret presents.

And make cousin Lucy eat Beaver’s Tails.

But they are not real beaver’s tails. they are just giant flat doughnuts. Ha.

I think she was very surprised. 

Then they went to Mister Ryan’s house to play games with beers and chips. 

That is why they had to make those middle of the night very tasty nachos. Ha.

And they were very very thirsty this morning. Too bad for them.

Then everybody, except Craig went with me to our farm.

And we stayed there for a very very long time.

Because Zita said everybody needed lots of fresh air today. Ha.

When we came home I got to stay here and mind Craig.

Because Zita and Niamh and cousin Lucy had to go to the nice grocery store.

Because we are having a party tonight. With hamburgers.

Because tomorrow cousin Lucy has to find that aeroplane that does not get lost.

Because everybody in Ireland misses her, so she has to go home or Auntie Eileen will be way too sad. Oh dear. 

Zita made lots and lots of bacons for our special dinner salad.

And Craig got some for me. But it was a secret treat. Ha.

Because he is my friend.

Then I helped him with his next T-shirt.

Because the other one was too messy for party time. My goodness.

And we had lots of before dinner cheeses. 

Tyler, and Mister Ryan and everybody came for our goodbye to cousin Lucy dinner. Oh dear. 

And Mister Ryan brought a giant cheese for us. That was a very tasty idea. 

Day Eight Hundred and Eleven

Miss Pancake 

When I went outside this morning it was just a lot of fast rain. There was not even a bit of nice sunshine. 

But we went to our farm anyway. After our breakfasts.

Because we needed to have empty everywhere heads before we started our work.

There were so many farm puddles that I was a full of sticky mud dog when we got home.

Even my tummy, because of my very fast running.

So I had to have a right away bath before we went to our comfy office. 

I was too busy to help my friend Craig this morning, so he put his T-shirt on backwards two times. Too bad for him.

But then I helped him make his coffee, and just like that people kept coming upstairs. 

Miss Tarryn and then Miss Dina and then cousin Lucy and Niamh.

Because they had a giant sleepover after the hockey game. 

Mister Tyler and Mister Ryan and Mister Mat were there too. 

But they did not have a lovely sleep over. Too bad for them. 

And Lucy got a hockey sweater, and a giant tea cup and a very little hockey player too.

Because Mister Tyler’s grandad works right there. Ha. 

My goodness me. 

After I had my lunch I had a very long lovely relax. 

So I could mind Craig right in the living room. Ha. 

It was a windy rain day today. 

But at Emmet’s own university it was so windy they had to tell everybody. My goodness me.

It is very very windy over there. 

Because they wanted to have wind instead of snow. 

Because you do not need to buy machines to take the wind away. It just goes away all by itself.

Before dinnertime Niamh and cousin Lucy and everybody else went up to the busy street.

Because it was time to turn on the giant Merry Christmas tree. 

Then they went to find Mister Tyler and have tasty treats. Maybe lots of chips. 

They did not have their dinner with us. 

When our dinner was all finished we watched a new program. 

And it is a very good spy program..

Being a spy is very dangerous. My goodness me. 

Day Eight Hundred and Ten

Miss Pancake 

We had a very nice quiet day today.

Because everybody was very busy.

And it was not so very nice outside. Oh well.

After our around here walk, Miss Dina came to work with Niamh. In the living room.

So Zita and I went into our comfy office to do our work. 

When Craig was dressed he went right into the den for his first coffee. 

I stayed with Zita because we were very very busy.

And we were a bit tired because last night Zita had a sick tummy. 

So I was her best nurse. Until we went back to fast asleep.

Last night Niamh and her friends went to their favourite restaurant downtown.

But they did not win at that hard questions contest. I do not know why. 

And yesterday some nasty person stole all of Tyler’s boxes of his secret Merry Christmas presents. He should get a fierce minder dog like me.

Maybe that is why they did not win last night. Maybe someone stole it. My goodness me. 

After lunchtime Zita and cousin Lucy and Mister Clifford went to the secret downtown room with a giant box of candies. 

But they were not for us. They were for the big rascal ladies party. Oh well.

But when they got home Zita made delicious toasts with jams for Craig and me. In the den.

He was just listening to his music with those big headphones. 

So he could listen to his loud bagpipes music. And nobody could hear them. 

My goodness, when work was over Niamh and cousin Lucy and their friends went to a hockey game. 

Cousin Lucy has never seen a hockey game. 

I see them right on our television in the den. Ha

So Zita and I drove them to downtown where the big yellow bus took them to the hockey game. 

I stuck my head out the window of our fast car all the way home. But I got a bit soggy. Oh well.

When we got home it was dinner time for Craig and Zita and me. Ha. 

Then we watched the very funny detectives until it was all finished.

So we had a nice early go to bed. 

Day Eight Hundred and Nine

Miss Pancake 

It was a bit cold when we got up. 

But there was not any too much snow.

But the flat computer said that maybe it was going to snow at Emmet’s very old university.

Maybe all his students will have a do not go to school day. 

Because in way far away Ireland they do not have our giant take the snow away machines. 

Not even for their sidewalks. Oh dear. Too bad for them.

When cousin Lucy came up stairs she had blood on her head. 

Because when she was fast fast asleep she rolled over and hit Emmet’s desk. With her head. My goodness.

So Zita and I fixed her until she was all perfect again. Ha.

Then she went back to all asleep.

Then I minded Niamh, because she had another very busy day.

But first she went to see nice Doctor Linsey. To get her do not get way to sick shot. 

Craig did not have a sleep in today. 

Because he had to have his too much coffee right away. So he did.

After my lunch Zita and I went for a very nice long walk. 

Zita wore her warm coast. Not her warm as can be coat. 

Because you have to save that coat until the way too much cold. 

I was not a bit cold. Because I have always toasts warm. 

But I have a beautiful red coat, just in case Craig said. 

After we got home I helped Craig make his peanut butter and jams sandwich. 

We put lots of butter and both pieces of bread. Ha.

Then the fast car took Zita and cousin Lucy to Mister Valley’s full of very good things store. 

That is Craig’s favourite store. 

And when they came home they brought Craig’s favourite from Mister IKEA’s store cookies.

Because they went to that store too. Ha. 

Zita made brownie cakes because she went to Kathy’s for dinner.

So she brought the delicious dessert for the coffees. 

And Niamh and cousin Lucy went to that only hard questions restaurant. 

Craig and I had refrigerator pizza. I got some. 

So then I minded Craig until everybody was back home. That is an easy job for me.

Because my watching chair is very comfy. Ha. 

Day Eight Hundred and Eight

Miss Pancake 

When I looked out the windows this morning it was a very sunshiny bright day. 

But we did not go to the farm because we had to have our breakfasts. And it was a little bit too cold. 

So we went to our office to do our rascal ladies work.

Because we always have way too much work to do. 

That is why I am Zita’s very best assistant. 

When Craig was nearly all awake I had my lunch and he had his first coffee.

I went outside for a little bit, but Zita came out and said it was just the right time for the fast car to take us to our farm. 

That was a very good idea.

So the fast car took us there, so we could have our exercises. 

It was not so cold because of all the sunshine. 

I did not even have cold toes when we got home. 

Niamh and Lucy cooked something for their lunch when we got home. 

But it was just vegetables so there was not a bit of cheese for me. Oh dear. 

But then Craig made a peanut butter sandwich. 

Because it was just the right time for his next another coffee. 

And you cannot had that coffee if you do not have a fat sandwich too. It is a rule. 

Last night when we were in the den with our detectives, Niamh and Tarryn and cousin Lucy were downstairs watching Merry Christmas movies.

And tonight they are going to Miss Allie’s to make her Merry Christmas tree as beautiful as could be.

Because every year they alway help Miss Allie with her tree. 

So it is always very beautiful. That is a good idea. 

I already got Craig’s Merry Christmas secret present.
